------- Comment #6 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-01-29 03:30 MST ------- The traditional use of --temp-dir (I think) is for situations when the receiving partition does not have enough free space to accomodate a temporary copy of a large file. Thus, --temp-dir is usually on a different partition, and the ensuing copy, by necessity, truncates the target file before copying the updated content. I would suggest supplementing the --temp-dir documentation with an explanation of the traditional usage and the above behavior in the case when --temp-dir is on a different partition. When the receiver is an active system with live processes using the files being rsynced, this is an especially important consideration. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
